JAMMU: Raman Suri, Executive Member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), today lauded the extraordinary resilience and high morale of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the face of rising tensions along the border with Pakistan. The Indian Armed Forces, through decisive actions like Operation Sindoor, have consistently dismantled terror camps across the border, dealing a severe blow to Pakistan’s nefarious designs. In stark contrast, Pakistan, in sheer frustration, has resorted to targeting civilian areas, exposing its desperation and disregard for humanity.
Despite these provocations, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have displayed unparalleled courage and unity. “The morale of our people is sky-high, and their spirit of national service is truly inspiring. Instead of fear, we see determination and patriotism on their faces. This is the need of the hour,” said Raman Suri. He emphasized that the people are wholeheartedly supporting the administration and adhering to advisories issued from time to time, showcasing exemplary cooperation during these challenging times.
The BJP stands firmly with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, extending all possible support to those affected by the ongoing situation. Elected representatives, party workers, and leaders are actively reaching out to needy and affected families, providing assistance in every possible manner. “Our party is on the ground, working tirelessly to help our brothers and sisters in distress. From ensuring essential supplies to offering emotional support, the BJP is committed to serving the people,” Suri added.
The response from the public has been nothing short of energizing. Following Operation Sindoor, the people of Jammu have come forward in large numbers to aid those affected by Pakistan’s shelling. Blood donation camps for the Indian Army have seen overwhelming participation, and private hospitals are providing free treatment to those injured in the shelling. “This collective resolve to teach Pakistan a tough lesson reflects the unity and strength of our nation. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are not just enduring; they are contributing actively to the nation’s cause,” Suri remarked.
Hospitals across the region are working round-the-clock, with health workers displaying unmatched dedication in treating the injured. Suri called for unity, urging everyone to refrain from negative comments that could pollute the atmosphere during this delicate situation. “This is not the time to curse or criticize but to stand together and help one another. Even staying positive is a contribution in these times,” he said.
Suri also appealed to those in border areas to reach out for assistance if needed, assuring that the BJP, along with the administration and police, is ready to provide all necessary support. “Many families continue to live in vulnerable border areas. If they need help, we urge them to come forward, and we assure them that the entire community is with them,” he said.
The BJP commends the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their cooperation with the police and administration, which has been instrumental in maintaining order and ensuring safety. Suri emphasized that the biggest contribution at this moment is to support the administration and security forces, who are working tirelessly to safeguard the region.
“The situation on the border is delicate, but the unity and positivity displayed by our people are truly remarkable. This is the attitude we need to overcome challenges and emerge stronger as a nation,” Suri concluded.
The Bharatiya Janata Party reiterated its commitment to the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and salutes their indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. Raman Suri said that ample food stocks were available in the market and no one should hoard essentials.
